A YEAR OF TRANSITIONS

In July 2005, I began my appointment as Dean of the Faculty of Law of Queen’s

University. I am honoured to have been given the opportunity to serve as Dean of

a law school as distinguished as Queen’s.

Our law school made great strides under former Dean Alison Harvison Young,

now a member of the Superior Court of Justice of Ontario, Toronto Region. There

has been significant faculty renewal over the past few years, bringing an infusion

of energy, vitality, and ideas to the law school. Over half of the current faculty

members are new to Queen’s within the last six years. The additions to our faculty

have been accompanied by a growing focus on nationally and internationally

recognized teaching, research, and scholarship. As Dean, I intend to build on

these strengths. Queen’s Law is in a position to reach a new level of achievement

and recognition.

This is also a challenging time as Queen’s Law strives to sustain its longstand-

ing commitment to a diverse and outstanding faculty and student body and an

educational program that is accessible to all qualified students including those

with financial need. Excellence and accessibility - in equal measure - will be my

major objectives as Dean.

I also have a keen interest in the internationalization of legal education. I am the

founder of the innovative International Law Spring Program at the Queen’s

University International Study Centre in the UK. I have worked on international

legal research projects in Russia and Brazil. I have also worked to expand

international educational opportunities for our students, leading to new student

exchanges in Hong Kong, Singapore, and the USA.

An inspired legal education can broaden horizons and enrich minds. In this

year’s edition of Queen’s Law Reports you will see featured committed students,

innovative teachers, and talented scholars, all passionate about their work. Last

year’s major initiatives included the hosting of several exceptional academic vis-

itors, the launch of a new public interest law summer internship program, and the

approval of a variety of new and innovative courses to our curriculum. We also

welcomed four very talented and promising new faculty members, and our moot

teams had a year of remarkable success.

Queen’s is a wonderful law school, and I look forward to building on its

strengths in the coming years.

New FacultyFour new faculty members with diverse research and teaching interests and a great

deal of enthusiasm and energy joined us in 2004-2005.

“Queen’s Law Faculty is an energetic and collegial

community engaged in learning and thinking

about the law. I am thrilled to be a part of it.”

“At Queen’s faculty and students have come together to

form a first-rate intellectual community. I have been struck

by the curiosity and discipline of the students. I have also

been impressed by the institutional commitment to research

and the exchange of ideas, evident in the many faculty

workshops and in the vibrant visitors program.”

“As someone who received a legal education overseas,

I am very impressed by the emphasis Queen’s puts on the

international aspects of law. We have a great international

summer program, many of our visitors are international,

and our students participate in several international moots.

All of these assets enrich the students tremendously and

help to create a vibrant intellectual community.”

TRANSITIONS

As I served as Associate Dean from1994 to 1998, it was not surprisingthat when Gary Trotter suddenlystepped into the Dean’s place in lateNovember 2004, he asked me to serveas Acting Associate Dean until June30, 2005. My prior experience madeit relatively easy for me to take this assignment, although things hadchanged quite a lot in six years. With

the increase in Faculty resources due to higher tuition, many aspectsof the job were more satisfying. In addition, in 1994-1998 I was stilla relatively “young” faculty member. I now find myself one of the“older” faculty members. Seniority is not always an advantage in life,but it can be in administration. Colleagues and staff were very generousand supportive, knowing that I had stepped into a challenging positionand would only be serving temporarily. All of the big issues have beensaved for Bill Flanagan, and we look forward to his Deanship.

Professor Nicholas Bala (Acting Associate Dean 2004-2005)

To say that this last academic year has been challenging wouldbe a big understatement. Transition has been the watchword.Shortly after I stepped into the Associate Dean position in July 2004, the University started its search for a new Dean ofLaw. This was a planned search in anticipation of the end of Alison Harvison Young’s renewed term as Dean on June 30, 2005. Transition was on the horizon, but little didwe know how quickly we would need to react to change.

Early in the fall, Assistant Dean Ann Tierney announced herdeparture to become Dean of Student Affairs at CarletonUniversity. We were fortunate to be able to recover quicklyfrom this great loss by hiring a new Assistant Dean, RamneekPooni. Ramneek brings a wealth of experience to the Facultyfrom her years at Osgoode Hall Law School and has made the transition a very smooth one.

But there was more to come! On November 19, 2004, Dean Alison Harvison Young becameMadam Justice Harvison Young, a member of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. As a consequence of this wonderful achievement I was asked to fill in as Acting Dean until June 30, 2005. Again we were lucky, as Professor Nick Bala agreed to serve as Acting AssociateDean. Nick generously stepped into this position with prior knowledge and experience, havingbeen Associate Dean for two terms in the 1990s. In the meantime, the search for the newDean of Law concluded in January 2005 with the announcement that Professor Bill Flanaganwould commence his duties on July 1, 2005.

While the 2004-2005 year has been marked by significant change, I wish to thank faculty,staff, and students for their patience, understanding, and extraordinary efforts in keepingthings running as smoothly as possible. Thanks to the spirit of collaboration that people havedemonstrated, we are in a strong position to move forward under the leadership of Dean BillFlanagan.

Associate Dean Gary Trotter (Acting Dean 2004-2005)

Stepping ForwardWhen Dean Alison Harvison Young was appointed to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in November 2004, Associate Dean Gary Trotter was named the

Faculty’s Acting Dean and Professor Nick Bala agreed to be the Acting Associate Dean. We were very lucky indeed to have such competent, dedicated

interim leadership until Bill Flanagan became Dean in July 2005.

“One student I encouraged to seek a United Nations

internship has obtained it, other students are heading

to Bay Street, and many are interested in pursuing work

they’ve started with me in ethics and corporate governance

issues. There’s terrific promise and potential here.”


as Senior Manager and in-house counsel with PricewaterhouseCoopers. He was

Associate Director of the Canadian Studies program at the University of Toronto. In

1997-98 he served as Justice and Social Policy Advisor to the Premier of Ontario.

He chairs the Chief Justice of Ontario’s Advisory Committee on Professionalism

Kingston Colloquium to be held in October 2005, and is Faculty Coordinator of the

12th Annual Queen’s Business Law Symposium. Paul is teaching Legal Ethics,

Business Associations, Torts, and Corporate Governance at Queen’s, and Public

International Law at Queen’s International Study Centre in the UK.


TRANSITIONS

We are delighted that Bill Flanagan

has been appointed the new Dean of

Queen’s Law. Dean Flanagan is respected

internationally as an academic, and he is

an immensely popular colleague and

teacher. The faculty, students, alumni,

and staff are all very excited about his

appointment and look forward to five

years of thoughtful guidance and innova-

tive leadership.

Dean Flanagan has a J.D. from the

University of Toronto Faculty of Law

(1985), a D.E.A. in international economic

law from the University of Paris (1986),

and an LL.M. from Columbia University

(1989). He served as a law clerk to the

Honourable Justice W.Z. Estey of the

Supreme Court of Canada in 1986-1987.

Dean Flanagan began teaching at Queen’s

in 1991 and was appointed a Queen’s

National Scholar in 1996. He has twice

been awarded teaching awards by the

Law Students’ Society.

Dean Flanagan’s areas of research

interest include international law,

Former Dean Alison Harvison Young Appointed to the Superior Court of Justice of OntarioIn November 2004, we said farewell to our former Dean, Alison Harvison Young, upon her appoint-

ment to the Superior Court of Justice of Ontario. Justice Harvison Young came to the Faculty as Dean

in 1998 after a distinguished career at McGill, where she taught for many years. Justice Harvison

Young also served as the Associate Dean at McGill.

Just as Justice Harvison Young’s departure has triggered great change at the Faculty, she presided

over significant changes during her time as Dean. She was responsible for hiring many new faculty

members. She helped foster great links with the legal community in cities across Canada and with

law societies and the judiciary. Justice Harvison Young led the project which achieved wonderful

renovations to Macdonald Hall, which was in great need of improvement. She also dealt with many

difficult issues as Dean such as increases in tuition.

But Justice Harvison Young was more than just our Dean. She was a fabulous teacher, a respected

scholar, an affable colleague, and a good friend. It is sad to see her go, but we are very proud of her

great achievement in becoming a member of the Superior Court of Justice.

Associate Dean Gary Trotter (Acting Dean 2004-2005)

Dean Bill Flanaganbusiness law, and property law. He

is the co-author of one of Canada’s

leading property law casebooks and

has published in a variety of other areas

including international human rights,

international trade law, and business

law. He recently completed a research

project examining the effects of

globalization in Brazil, sponsored by a

SSHRC/Law Commission of Canada

grant. Since 1998, he has served as

Co-Chair of the highly regarded Queen’s

Annual Business Law Symposium.

Dean Flanagan is the founder of the

International Law Spring Program at

the Queen’s University International

Study Centre at Herstmonceux Castle

in the UK, and has served as Director of

this program since 2001. Since 1998 he

has also served as the Executive

Director of the Canada AIDS Russia

Project, an HIV research and training

project in Russia funded by the

Canadian International Development

Agency in the amount of $3.3 million.

“Although very pleased that

Ann’s great talents have been

rewarded by her appointment

as a Dean, we were very sad to

see her leave the law school.

Her contributions as an adminis-

trator were extraordinary. She

was the first Career Services

Director and she developed that position from scratch. When

she became Assistant Dean she took on major new responsi-

bilities for budgeting details, policy development, report

writing, and staff management.

Ann is one of the brightest people I have known. She is

a problem-solver and also has a great sense of judgment,

upon which we all came to rely. She also has a social spark

and a wicked (Irish) sense of humour which made our work

spaces so much more lively. My favourite Ann-ism is her often

repeated remark that ‘people often create their own reality

and then just step right in’. Carleton’s gain is our great loss”.

– Professor Don Stuart

“My new role at Queen’s Law allows me to pursue a different

tack in legal education: trying to improve the law school

experience for staff and faculty as well as students. I believe

that fostering a safe and comfortable space that supports

people in their endeavours to learn and thrive is an

extremely important social commitment.

“Everyone has been extremely supportive as I stumble along

figuring (so many!) things out. I am thrilled to be here and,

along with Bill and Gary, I look forward to being part of the

shape of things to come.”


Assistant DeanRamneek PooniThe Faculty was very pleased to welcome Ramneek Pooni to her new position as

Assistant Dean in November 2004. Assistant Dean Pooni has a B.A. (Hons.) from

the University of Toronto, an M.A. from the University of Michigan, and an LL.B.

from Osgoode Hall Law School. She articled with the Ombudsman Ontario and

practised criminal defence law before finding her niche in legal education at

Osgoode Hall Law School.

Ramneek took on many roles at Osgoode, from recruitment and admissions to

financial aid to providing career and curricular advice, all the while being the equity

point person for the law school and creating an academic support program for law

students. She expanded her knowledge of learning theory, equity and access issues,

and the machinations involved in running a law school. Ramneek was able to put

that knowledge to good use in teaching in the academic support program and

to call upon her diversity perspective to improve the law school experience for

many students.

Ramneek is as thrilled to join us at Queen’s as we are to welcome her, and she

finds this an exciting time of transition and growth for Queen’s Law. We join her in

thanking the outgoing administration for the solid foundation they put in place

which allows her and her colleagues to continue to build for the future.

Former Assistant Dean Ann Tierneybecomes Dean of Student Affairs at CarletonAnn Tierney obtained a B.A. in mass communications and law at Carleton in 1986

and an LL.B. from Queen’s in 1989. She practised law for several years in Toronto

and Kingston and then joined Queen’s Faculty of Law as its first Director of Career

Services in 1996. In 1999 she was appointed the Faculty’s first Assistant Dean. Over

the years she taught courses in client counselling and dispute resolution and clinical

family law at the Faculty. In 2004 Ann obtained the degree of Master of Public

Administration from Queen’s University.

The faculty, staff, and students at Queen’s Law were very sorry to lose Ann when

she was appointed Dean of Student Affairs at Carleton University in November, 2004,

and wish her all the best in the next stage of her career.

Nineteen seventy-one was a banner year for the Faculty of Law at Queen’s. That

was the year that David Mullan decided to spend his professional life in a wonderful

city and with an emerging Faculty that held promise.

The fortunes of the Faculty have been greatly enhanced by David’s presence

among us. Whatever subject he turned his hand and mind to resulted in work of

exceptional quality. He became a scholar of international repute, particularly in the

field of Administrative Law. Students, academics, judges, and practitioners benefited

from his output and relied on his intellect and acute judgment to dissect the most

complex issues and present them in a manner that we could all understand. David’s

prolific research was recognized and rewarded.

David excelled in the classroom where every lecture was a work of art. His

courses were always over-subscribed as students applied their innate wisdom in

knowing that a course taught by David would generate a lifetime of rewards. Every

lecture that he delivered was an intellectual and emotional challenge for him and

he met each challenge with superb results. David’s teaching was recognized

and rewarded.

David’s colleagues learned that the multiplier effect does not apply only to

economics. David was a role model for all of us and his example stimulated levels of

productivity and excellence in many of us that, were he not here, might have

remained dormant and unfulfilled. He was a “teacher’s teacher” and a “researcher’s

researcher”. He was the best among us.

David lent his talents to the diverse fields of human rights and international trade

and his contribution to the legal profession of Ontario was recognized when the

Law Society of Upper Canada conferred on him an honorary doctorate this past year.

David is our friend. It has been a joy collaborating with him on many projects

over the years. He has enriched our personal and professional lives beyond measure.

Stanley Sadinsky, Professor Emeritus

David was recently appointed Integrity Commissioner for Toronto, reporting directly to the council,and began this part-time position in September 2004. David’s role includes fielding complaints about the conduct of councillors and investigating alleged conflict of interest issues.

and one sessional lecturer for a teaching

excellence award. The LSS receives many

nominations for its annual teaching awards.

The decisions are often very difficult, but

after careful consideration the LSS Teaching

Awards Committee was pleased to present

the following awards:

BLG FellowshipIn 2004, Borden Ladner Gervais LLP established a national Summer Student Research

Fellowship Program to recognize and reward first-year law students who strive to

cultivate values of excellence and professionalism. Every summer for five years, twenty

BLG Fellowships of $10,000 each will be awarded to first-year students from law

schools across Canada. Each year the law faculties will select a research project from the

proposals submitted by faculty members and a student to work on the selected project.

The Fellowship program represents BLG’s commitment to legal research and

academic freedom. Queen’s applauds the initiative BLG has taken to advance legal

research and create professional opportunities for law students.

“To me, there is no greater honour than to becalled a good teacher. So to be given an awardfor it is about the nicest thing anyone could do for me. Thank you.”

An interdisciplinary team led by Professor Nick Bala has

received a grant of $184,000 from the Social Sciences and

Humanities Research Council for 2005-2008 for its research on

child witness issues. Professor Bala commented: “We are very

pleased that the importance of our work for children and the

justice system has been recognized, and that we will be able

to pursue further research, law reform, and professional

training efforts.”

The project began in 1999 with an analysis of the procedures

used by courts for assessing children’s competence to testify.

The present research focuses on issues related to lying and the

assessment of the credibility of children in the justice system.

The research methodologies of the team have included surveying

judges and lawyers about practices and perceptions of child

witnesses and studying children in mock testimony situations.

The researchers also tested the ability of judges, lawyers, other

professionals, and law students to detect whether or not

children are lying. The researchers found that judges, police,

and social workers are at about the same level of accuracy in

detecting lies, while law students actually perform below

chance levels.

“One of the nice things about this project,” noted Bala,

“is that is has allowed me to collaborate with some of our

alumni who are national pioneers in dealing with child

Torys Business Law WorkshopThe Torys Business Law Workshop has had another very successful year. The Workshop, which was established in 2000 to bring the

business, legal, and academic communities together to discuss current topics in business law, focused this year on three important and

timely issues: securities regulatory structure, innovative offerings, and takeover bids. The students in the Applied Business Law

Seminar thoroughly enjoyed the in-depth analysis of corporate law issues that these presentations provided.

In addition to the in-class speakers, the Workshop also organizes an annual public lecture in business law which was delivered this

year by Professor Jill Fisch of Fordham University School of Law.

The Torys Business Law Workshop is organized by Professor Anita Anand, and would not be possible without the continued

support of Torys LLP and the guest speakers.

witnesses, such as Crown prosecutors Shelly Hallett (Law ’78)

in Ontario and Wendy Van Tongeren Harvey (Law ’75)

in B.C.”

While research has been the major focus of the team’s

work, the ultimate objective is to improve the justice system’s

treatment of child witnesses. Professor Bala says, “One of the

things that we have proven is that the present process for

qualifying children to testify does not help with the truth

seeking function of the trial. I am very pleased that we were

able to persuade a Parliamentary Committee to change the

law”(Bill C-2, 2005). The team has also given presentations

and training on child witness issues to judges, lawyers, and

social workers. The team has been working with the National

Judicial Institute to develop materials on child witness issues

for use by judges.

The research team led by Professor Bala includes psycholo-

gists Rod Lindsay at Queen’s and Victoria Talwar at MGill.

An important community collaborator is Janet Lee, who has

worked with child witnesses in the Ontario courts for over

two decades, and who supervises Queen’s Law students

working with child witnesses on Clinical Family Law place-

ments. The project has involved a number of upper-year

LL.B. and graduate students in law, some of whom are now

pursuing careers related to the work they did on the project.

Queen’s Business Law Symposium 2005 On Friday, October 14, 2005, Queen’s Law will host the 12th Queen’s Annual Business

Law Symposium at the Donald Gordon Conference Centre. This annual event is one of

the leading national business law conferences in Canada and brings together experts

from the academic world, the judiciary, regulators, and private practice to explore issues

in corporate and securities practice. Information about this year’s conference is available

on our website at http://law.queensu.ca/Business_Law_Symposium or from this

year’s Coordinator, Professor Paul Paton. The Symposium is generously sponsored by

Ogilvy Renault and Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP.

Law and EconomicsDiscussion GroupThe Law and Economics Group is a

joint effort of Queen’s Faculty of Law,

School of Business, and Department of

Economics. The Group meets once per

month to discuss academic papers by

Queen’s faculty members and outside

visitors. The Group has been running

for one year and invites all interested

participants to its sessions. Through

generous donations from two of its

members and the Office of Research

Services, it will be posting its working

papers on the Social Science Research

Network. If you would like to join the

Group’s listserv please send an email

Faculty DiscussionGroupThe Faculty Discussion Group is a

forum in which faculty members

present their research papers or works

in progress to colleagues and graduate

students from the Faculty and other

departments in the University. The

Group also hosts speakers from outside

the law school from time to time. In the

2004-2005 academic year the following

papers were presented:

• Professor Anita Anand: “Inefficiency

and Path Dependency in Canada’s

Securities Regulatory System”.

• Professor Larissa Katz: “Powers,

Privileges, and Duties: The Protection

• Professor Bruce Pardy: “In Search of

the Holy Grail of Environmental

Law: A Job for Monty Python?”

• Professor Michael Pratt: “Intention

and Voluntariness in Promises and

Contracts”.

2005-2006 CurriculumThe curriculum for 2005-2006 offers students more choice than in any previous year in

Faculty history. The broader range of course offerings reflects the increasingly varied

interests of our students as well as the greater resources of the Faculty.

While the “core courses” remain the foundation of the upper-year program for most

students, there are a growing number of lecture, seminar, and skills courses. In consultation

with the Law Students’ Society a decision was made to hire additional sessional

instructors to allow us to offer courses that have not been taught for a few years, such

as Insurance Law and Civil Liberties, as well as new seminar courses in Corporate

Finance and Estate Planning. Some of the recently hired faculty members have added

courses dealing with contemporary social and legal issues, including new seminars in

White Collar Crime (David Freedman), Law and Development (Larissa Katz),

Advanced Intellectual Property (Bita Amani), and Law and Poverty (Sharryn Aiken).

Legal theory remains important at Queen’s, and we are offering seminars taught by

new faculty members on Theories of Fault and Responsibility (Malcolm Thorburn)

and Law and Economics (Cherie Metcalf).

In conjunction with changes in our LL.M. program, we have added a number of

new graduate seminars, opening two courses to both LL.M. and LL.B. students: a

course dealing with social science research methods and the law (Sara Slinn), and

another on legal education and pedagogy (Mark Weisberg).

Some of the courses for 2005-2006 are intended to be offered only once, such as a

Seminar on International Governance (George Alexandrowicz), coinciding with the

60th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, and a seminar on Fiduciary

Obligations, which will be offered by an expert in that field, Professor Moe Litman,

who will be a visitor to the Faculty from the University of Alberta.

Our skills courses continue to be very popular, and we have added more sections of

courses in Trial Advocacy and Alternative Dispute Resolution, Negotiation, and Client

Counselling. Our Clinical Correctional, Clinical Litigation Practice (Legal Aid Clinic),

and Clinical Family Law programs also remain very popular, offering students insights

and perspectives that cannot be provided in a classroom.

Individual students may help shape their own educational programs by arranging

Individual Study Projects with faculty members. In addition, in recent years many

students have had the opportunity to spend a term of their legal studies away from

Queen’s, either at Queen’s International Study Centre or on one of our growing

number of international exchange programs.

The Graduate Program

The graduate program in law at Queen’s is undergoing changes, with more changes to

come. It is not surprising that as legal practice becomes more complex, advanced legal

study becomes even more desirable, and we are seeing great interest in our graduate

program from those advancing in traditional careers as well as those considering a

career teaching law. Graduate study at Queen’s now offers students greater opportunity

to concentrate in a single area of interest and develop considerable expertise.

This year, changes in the graduate program have been approved which allow

students to earn an LL.M. by one of three routes instead of the former single thesis

requirement: students may complete a traditional thesis, a mini-thesis and three

additional courses, or a graduate paper and five additional courses. All students must

complete two graduate level seminars. The Faculty’s goal in making these changes is to

allow our students to have greater control over their graduate education and to allow

students to tailor programs of study to fit their individual needs. This flexibility is

especially important as the teaching complement of the Faculty continues to grow,

making available to our graduate students an increasing number of specialized courses.

Next year we hope to be able to begin the process of having a doctoral program in law

approved.

Queen’s continues to attract excellent domestic and international students at the

graduate level. The students in 2004-2005 came from five countries and they were

working in areas ranging from biotechnology patents to international human rights.

From the applications that we have received for admission to the program next year,

Queen’s Law can look forward to continued success at the graduate level.

Mugdha Arora LL.M. ’05Carl Sandburg said “Nothing happensunless first a dream”. My journey froma small city in India to Queen’sUniversity is the result of my daring to dream. Doing an LL.M. in a foreign university was a challenge forme both professionally and personally.However, Queen’s was an obvious

choice for me because of its reputation and international recogni-tion. When I was offered admission I readily accepted this goldenopportunity and I feel lucky to be here.

There are many aspects of Queen’s that impress me. I like the student-professor relationship the most. I appreciate the academic environment, especially the way in which professorsconduct their lectures and involve students in the teachingprocess. However, the best thing about the LL.M. program is thegraduate seminar. The seminar has helped me to develop skills ofcritical analysis.

While at Queen’s I attended the IPITA firm tour and wasimpressed with the networking by the students and law firms. Ialso had an opportunity to work as a student assistant at theLederman law library and that experience enhanced my interpersonal skills.

During these eight months, I have worked hard to acclimatemyself to this environment. I feel privileged to be among the fewinternational students accepted by Queen’s. I want to thank thefaculty, staff, and my colleagues for helping me. I am now lookingforward to completing my LL.M. so I can secure a job and provemy skills and knowledge. I am sure with continuous hard workand patience I will be successful. I am proud to be a member ofthe Queen’s community.


PROGRAM NOTES

The Faculty has a long-standing commitment to providing a variety of international

exchange opportunities for our students. Not only do our students benefit from

experience abroad, but the international students who come to Queen’s enrich our

program at home.

We have had very successful exchanges for some time with three law schools in

Australia (University of New South Wales, University of Sydney, and the University

of Melbourne), one in the Netherlands (Groningen), and one in France (Université

de Jean Moulin). We have recently initiated new exchanges with the National

University of Singapore and City University of Hong Kong, and we are exploring

exchanges with other European and US schools.

Last year twelve international law students from Europe, Australia, and Asia

attended Queen’s on exchange, and seventeen Queen’s Law students had the oppor-

tunity to study at outstanding schools abroad.

The Faculty is proud of the other international opportunities we offer our

students, including the very successful International Law Spring Program at the

Queen’s International Study Centre in the UK. We are very excited that in future

years we will be able to invite leading scholars from around the world to teach some

of our new one-credit courses, which will each last two weeks.

According to our students, these international initiatives provide rich educational

opportunities, as their quotations at the left attest.

“My exchange at the University of Groningen in the

Netherlands was one of the highlights of my law school years.

Apart from learning about European law and culture in one

of the continent’s oldest and finest universities, I had the

opportunity to meet new friends from across the world and

the time to travel with some of them through southern and

eastern Europe. It was a wonderful international experience.”

– Natasha Hutchison, Law ’05 (studied at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands, Fall 2004)

“Coming on an exchange to Queen’s is much more than

studying at one of the greatest Canadian universities. I would

never have imagined that I would have experienced so much

in only one year at Queen’s. I will always remember Queen’s

Law as a wonderful and very welcoming community.”

– Mathilde Barcat, Lyon 3 (studied at Queen’s Law, 2004-2005)

“The castle combined the culture and romance of the 1600’s

with a 21st century education; it truly was an experience

of a lifetime!”

– Jackie Swaisland, Law ‘06 (studied at the ISC, Spring 2004)

“I had a fantastic time on exchange at Queen’s University!

I enjoyed studying law from the Canadian point of view,

experiencing the Canadian culture and, most of all, meeting

the awesome (note the Canadian lingo...) students and

staff at the law faculty! I hope to see some familiar

Canadian faces on exchange in Sydney in the future.”

– Jane Healy, University of Sydney, Australia (studied at Queen’s Law, Fall 2004)


FACULTY INITIATIVES

Through the generosity of the Law Foundation of Ontario,

Queen’s Faculty of Law has created exciting new internship

awards to allow first and second-year students to advance their

legal knowledge and expand their understanding of community

and public service legal work. Students will provide valuable legal education

services to agencies and organizations which are unfunded or minimally funded,

furthering Queen’s Law’s commitment to access to justice. The internships can be

local, provincial, national, or international. It is up to the students to explore and make

preliminary arrangements for internships. Each successful student will file a brief

report summarizing his or her experience, evaluating the internship and the organiza-

tion’s potential for an ongoing relationship with Queen’s Law, and discussing how

participation in the internship has informed his or her plans for the future, including

any career plans or plans for future volunteerism or community involvement.

THIS YEAR’S SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS ARE:

Aaron Broudo, Law ’06, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, New York City

Access StudyAn independent Study was commissioned by the Law

Deans from five of the six Ontario universities, and

funded by the Law Society of Upper Canada and the Law

Foundation of Ontario. The purpose of the Study was to

describe the demographic characteristics of law school

students and to determine whether these characteristics

have changed since tuition deregulation. The Study also

examined the amount and type of debt incurred by stu-

dents in law school and the impact of debt on their lives.

The Study shows that Ontario law schools have a

diverse student body, relatively unchanged in the last few

years. There has been a slight decrease in the number of

aboriginal students and students from northern Ontario

and a slight increase in the number of students from some

visible minority groups.

The number of students without debt drops from

approximately 50% at admission to 20% at graduation,

and about 13% of students expect to graduate with debt

higher than $70,000. Students with moderate to high debt

tend to view it as having a significant adverse impact

on their articling and practising decisions, law school

experience, and relationships. Students with low debt cite

parents and personal savings as their primary sources of

support, while students with the highest debt depend

primarily on bank and government loans. The income

level of students’ parents has increased slightly over time.

There has been a dramatic increase in bursary money

awarded, partly because law schools must direct 30% of

deregulated tuition to financial assistance. The number of

students receiving bursaries has not changed, indicating

that some students are receiving a very high amount of

this needs-based financial assistance. The impact of debt is

felt more by current students than by graduates.

Recommendations made by the Study’s authors:• Increase maximum assistance from OSAP.• Examine the feasibility of a debt-relief programme.• Refine the Work Study plan.• Align bursary allocations more consistently with

student financial need.• Ensure openness, fairness, and support for students

in search of articling positions.

Queen’s Law is examining ways to act upon these

recommendations. You may view the Study at

MOOT PROGRAM

Queen’s Mooters ShineQueen’s Law students shone both nationally and internationally in competitive moots this year, bringing home several awards, valuable experience, and

happy memories. Mooting is a popular and exciting way for students to develop legal research, analysis, writing, and advocacy skills. Competitive moots

are given financial support by sponsoring firms and The Law Foundation of Ontario, and students who participate in competitive moots are given credit

toward their degree. Queen’s also offers two not-for-credit mooting opportunities for those students interested in labour issues, the Hicks Cup and the

Hicks Morley Labour Arbitration Competition. We congratulate all the students who participated as oralists, coaches, and researchers, and the faculty

advisors who put in so much time and energy to make this such an exciting year.

Mooting HighlightsABA Regional Client Counselling CompetitionLaw ’05 classmates Sarah Lowy and RobinSquires competed in the ABA Regional ClientCounselling Competition in February in AnnArbor, Michigan. The team achieved the bestscore in the preliminary round and, beatingthe competition in the semi-finals, moved tothe finals. They lost narrowly in the finalround to Ave Maria Law School.

Arnup Mock Trial and Sopinka CupMariana Alves and Robb MacDonald, bothLaw ’06, gave truly outstanding perform-ances in February at the Arnup Mock Trialcompetition against teams from each of theOntario law schools and came away victorious.They are to be congratulated for theirefforts. This win allowed Mariana and Robbto advance to the Sopinka Cup competitionheld in March. The competition at theSopinka Cup was intense and the teams weredescribed by Justice Binnie as of a calibrenever before seen in the competition.

Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP First YearInternational Law Moot

Queen’s Law does attract the best!The Fasken Moot provides an opportunity forfirst-year students to prepare and presentoral arguments on an international law issueagainst students from other Canadian andAmerican universities. The Law ’07 team ofBruce Blain, Gary Chui, Erin Dann, KenDavidson, Jon Fuller, Nahla Khouri, MichelleRoberts, and Ryan Treleaven won this year’scompetition in Toronto. In addition, JonFuller received the Second Best Oralist Awardand Ken Davidson was recognized asDistinguished Oralist.

Jessup MootMembers of the 2005 Jessup team and Law’06 classmates Duncan Ault, Melissa Binns,

Lindsay Bunt, and Jamie Spotswood distin-guished themselves at the Jessup Moot heldin Victoria in February. They placed thirdoverall in the final rounds before a bench including Justice Binnie. They won additional recognition for placing fourth inthe Memorials and three members of theteam placed in the top ten as oralists. An amazing accomplishment and a really wonderful team effort!

Kawaskimhon Aboriginal Rights MootOne of the core values at Queen’s Law is thepursuit of legal excellence in combinationwith a commitment to social justice andequality. The Kawaskimhon Moot is an eventwhich reflects this approach. This year’smoot problem was a multi-party negotiationto establish a process to resolve disputesarising from Canada’s historic treatiesbetween aboriginal peoples and the Crown.Queen’s team of Sandy Boucher, Law ’07, andJen Robertson, Law ’06, represented theGovernment of Canada. This was probablythe most difficult assignment as it requiredfamiliarity with all the treaties, and theteam had to respond to competing demandsby the provincial and aboriginal parties to the negotiations. Our team performedwonderfully and were complimented on their preparation, innovative approach, andprofessionalism.

Laskin MootAt the Laskin Moot a superb performancewas delivered by our appellate team of IanClarke, Law ’05, and Andrew Scott, Law ’06,and our respondent team of FrederiqueDelaprée, Law ’05, and Andrew Stead, Law’05. Ian and Andrew were awarded best pairfor defeating McGill in the finals. Ian wonsecond place (out of 72 competitors) in theindividual oralist category. Frederique and

Andrew were a very strong team and arguedadmirably in both of their moots. TheQueen’s team as a whole came in third outof eighteen schools in the competition. Welldone!

Willem C Vis Moot in InternationalCommercial Arbitration Queen’s University Law ’06 students NishaDhanoa and Laila Karimi have shown theyare among the best in the world. Nisha andLaila came fifth in the Vis competition heldin early April in Vienna. The Vis Moot inInternational Commercial Arbitration is oneof the premier moot competitions in theworld. Nisha and Laila competed againstteams from 149 renowned law schools. Thisis only the second year that Queen’s hasparticipated in the moot and it was anincredible feat to become so quickly one ofthe highest achieving teams in the competi-tion. After an impressive performance ourteam gracefully bowed out to the eventualchampion, Stetson University of Florida. Toreach their successful finish, Nisha and Lailatriumphed against Pepperdine University ofCalifornia and Harvard Law School. Queen’swent farther in the competition than allother Canadian teams.

Wilson MootThe Wilson Moot is an annual competitionhonouring Madam Justice Bertha Wilson,the first woman Justice to sit on theSupreme Court of Canada. Queen’s team ofSheliza Bardai, Law ‘06, Evelyn Li, Law ‘05,Hendrik Nieuwland, Law ‘06, Erica Zarkovich,Law ’05, and Heather Wood, Law ’05, gave astrong performance at this year’s WilsonMoot and are to be congratulated for a jobwell done.

Colloquia on Professionalism 2005:Integrity in PracticeOn October 15, 2005, Queen’s Law will host the 6th in a series of Colloquia on

Professionalism sponsored by the Chief Justice of Ontario’s Advisory Committee on

Professionalism, the Law Society of Upper Canada, the Ontario Bar Association, and a

number of other groups and organizations. Focusing on “Integrity in Practice”, there

practising lawyers and others from around the province to explore in depth what it

means to maintain integrity in a variety of practice settings. Associate Dean Gary

Trotter and Professor Paul Paton will present papers on Criminal Practice and Integrity

in Corporate Practice respectively. It promises to be a productive and interesting day.

Further information is available from Professor Paton, the Law Society of Upper

Canada website, or the Queen’s Law webpage, http://law.queensu.ca.


CONFERENCES AND SYMPOSIA

The Faculty of Law is planning a symposium on constitutional law in honour of John

Whyte, former Dean of Law and a Queen’s faculty member for many years. After

leaving Queen’s he was the Deputy Minister of Justice of Saskatchewan from 1997 to

2002. He is currently a Senior Policy Fellow at the Saskatchewan Institute of Public

Policy and Professor of Political Science at the University of Regina.

The symposium will take place on September 30 and October 1, 2005, at the Donald

Gordon Centre in Kingston. The event will provide an opportunity for lawyers,

academics, judges, and students interested in constitutional law and public policy to

discuss current issues and to reflect on the contributions of one of Canada’s leading

constitutional scholars. To register or to obtain information about accommodations

please consult the symposium web site at http://law.queensu.ca/WhyteSymposium.

Constitutionalism and Political Morality: A Symposium in Honour of John Whyte

Paths Less Travelled 2004: Legal Futures in the Public InterestHeld October 22 and 23, 2004, Paths Less Travelled was the first annual student-run

conference at Queen’s Law devoted to raising awareness about social justice issues and

careers in the public interest. The conference began with an inspiring keynote address

by Marion Boyd, Ontario’s first female Attorney General.

Panels of invited guests discussed the practice of social justice law and working for

social justice outside of legal practice. Workshops included discussions of student

internships, legal academic publishing, civil disobedience as a way of effecting social

change, and lawyers who have made the transition to journalism. These sessions,

which included a great deal of participation from the student audience, demonstrated

effectively the variety of ways in which individuals can promote social justice.

The dedication of the organizing committee and a number of committed volunteers

made this conference a very successful event.

Student-Run Law Journal ConferenceThe Queen’s Law Journal initiated and on March 4 and 5, 2005, hosted the first national

conference for student-run law journals. It was a smashing success. The conference

brought together student editors from 11 law faculties across Canada representing 13

law journals. Professor Jean Leclair of the Université de Montréal launched the conference

with a thought-provoking and highly entertaining keynote address. This weekend

conference demonstrated the dedication and enthusiasm that motivates student

editors and the seriousness with which they undertake their work. Authors who submit

to student-run journals in Canada can be confident that their manuscripts are carefully

considered by these students. Primary organizer Sarah Viau hopes another law school

will pick up the torch and host a conference next year.

Paths Less Travelled 2005What role does the law play in building a more just society? What opportunities exist

for lawyers to use their training in pursuit of such ends? In the fall, we will attempt to

find answers to these questions, and many more, at the Second Annual Paths Less

Traveled Conference.

Day One of the event includes a series of panels on specialized public interest practice

and social justice work; last year’s panels included practitioners and activists such as

Marion Boyd and Jaggi Singh. Day Two will involve a series of workshops to provide

students with practical information and skills, such as how to find an internship or

get published.

The Paths conference is a chance for us to craft our vision of a better world and to

help us find a niche within that world. Whatever path you may choose, come out this

fall and help us find some answers! If you are interested in participating,

supporting, or attending please email [email protected].

Faculty of Law Visitors CommitteeThe Visitors Committee has had a terrific year. We have presented an exceptional line-up

of visitors from a range of disciplines and from around the world. Attendance at talks

by law school faculty and students and by guests from across the university and the

wider community has increased dramatically. These visits are a central part of the

scholarly life of the law school and the educational experience of our students.

VISITORS

Career Services Staff Note

I had the great

pleasure of taking

on the role of

Assistant Director

of the Career

Services Office

while Gillian Ready, the Director of

Career Services, was overseas on

a leave of absence during the

2004-2005 academic year. The

Faculty of Law at Queen’s is a won-

derful community of students, fac-

ulty, staff, and alumni. As a recent

graduate of Queen’s Law, I have

truly enjoyed the opportunity to

return to campus and work with

many of the people who make this

Faculty so special. Our ability to run

successful events and programs is

due in large part to our dedicated

alumni and committed students.

Thanks for a great year!

Amanda Holmes, Law ’03,

Assistant Director of Career Services

Shadow ProgramThis program provides students in first

and second year with the opportunity to

‘shadow’ a member of the legal profession

for a day. Students are matched with

volunteer law graduates according to

their interests. Our current list of

volunteers includes judges, in-house

counsel, lawyers in the public service,

and practitioners in all fields of law. This

program aims to help students experience

a ‘day in the life’ of a legal professional

and to provide students with a better

appreciation of the practical application

of their legal education.

Alumni ArticlingMentorsQueen’s Law is dedicated to helping

students achieve their career goals after

law school. In this program, we match

third-year students who are seeking

articles with alumni in the geographical

area and/or area of practice of interest to

the students. It is hoped that the alumni

mentors will work with the students to

develop job search skills and strategies,

help the students refine their cover letters

and resumes, and provide moral support

and encouragement. The time commitment

required for each student will vary, and

the nature and frequency of the contact is

up to the mentor and the student. In most

cases there will be at least one meeting,

Career Services Programs and Alumni ParticipationEach year Career Services coordinates several programs which bring students and alumni together. We hope that you will consider

participating in one or more of the programs described below. Please let us know if you would be willing to volunteer or would

be interested in receiving more information about any of our initiatives. Gillian Ready can be reached at [email protected]

or (613) 533-6000, ext. 77735. We look forward to hearing from you!

CAREER SERVICES

but much of the contact can be by email

or telephone. Students are particularly

receptive to input and advice from

practising lawyers, and we hope that

alumni will bring a fresh approach to the

search for an articling position.

PracticeInterviewsThrough this program alumni may

agree to meet with individual students,

on a one-time-only basis, to conduct

mock interviews and provide feedback

about the students’ interview skills and

strategies. Typically, the interviews take

place at the participating lawyers’ offices.

Pro Bono StudentsCanada Program We are very proud of the progress

made by the Pro Bono Students

Canada program at Queen’s this year.

The program flourished and doubled

in size, allowing many more students

to become involved. Pro Bono place-

ments allow students to work with

members of the community and

contribute to the work of not-for-profit

organizations in Kingston by complet-

ing law-related projects under the

supervision of local lawyers. We are

looking forward to another exciting

and successful year next year.

Law Students’ SocietyMotivated and supported by the Faculty’s parallel goals

of academic excellence and community spirit, the students

of Queen’s Law this year demonstrated a level of dedication,

energy, and commitment unsurpassed in recent memory.

It is my pleasure, as LSS President, to share with you some

of the highlights of 2004-2005.

Our competitive moot program enjoyed great success,

with students winning top honours for factum writing and

oral advocacy. Our VIS International Moot team, in only our second year participating

in the competition, placed 5th of 149 schools from around the world, ranking highest

among Canadian participants and beating many notable schools including Harvard!

Queen’s Law students demonstrated considerable generosity this year. The Asian Law

Forum raised over $1000 for Tsunami Relief, Lawlapalooza raised over $2400 for Camp

Trillium, the C.L.A.I.H.R. film festival raised money for the United Way, and the

Queen’s Law Cancer Society raised substantial amounts for the Canadian Cancer

Society, to name just a few campaigns. Our students were also generous with their time,

with over 70 students volunteering for over 30 projects with Pro Bono Students Canada,

and others organizing conferences exploring legal “Paths Less Travelled” and the role of

student-run law journals in Canada.

During 2004-2005 the LSS worked hard advocating for and supporting Queen’s Law

students. The LSS allocated almost $10,000 to student initiatives and endeavours, and

students influenced the future of legal education by making submissions to the Rae

Review and participating in the selection of our new Dean.

All in all, 2004-2005 was an exciting and eventful year for the students of Queen’s

Law as we continued to make our mark on legal education in Canada.

Trevor Shaw, Law ’05, LSS President 2004-2005

STUDENTS

“I would like to thank Blakes for this generousscholarship. After completing my under-graduate degree in British Columbia during a period when tuition was frozen, I had concerns about financing my legal education.The Blakes Scholar Award represents anadmirable commitment from the legal community to respond to students’ needs inthe face of rising student debts and tuition.I am truly grateful to Blakes for this award,which helped alleviate my financial burdensso that I might enjoy the collegial andwarm atmosphere of Queen’s while focusingon academics, clinical programs, andextracurricular activities.”

Blakes Scholar Awards

Den i s e S a ye r, L aw ’ 05

“As I look back on my three years atQueen’s Law, I cannot help but congratulatemyself on making the best decision of mylife. My experience here has been rewardingand enjoyable and has absolutely confirmedmy decision to become a lawyer. Receivingthe Blakes Scholar Award for the last twoyears has been an unexpected and highlyappreciated honour. The financial assistancehas been invaluable in helping me to managemy debt load and allowing me to take fulladvantage of the extra-curricular activitiesQueen’s Law offers. I want to thank Blake,Cassels & Graydon LLP for their generouscontribution to legal scholarship at Queen’s!”

Student AwardsThe Blakes Scholar Award (renewable) and the McMillan Binch Award are our largest scholarships. They are awarded to students

who have shown academic excellence in their first year of law studies. These students are typically involved in other aspects of law

school life and continue to show academic achievement of a very high calibre.

McMillan Binch Scholarship

Em i l y M cKe rn an , L aw ’ 05

“With my time at Queen’s Law ending, I canreflect on the truly extraordinary opportunitiesI’ve had here. The school’s reputation as awarm and supportive environment wherestudents can excel both academically andpersonally is definitely deserved. TheQueen’s Law Journal, Legal Aid, and com-petitive mooting have all been enrichingexperiences. The professors have challengedme to think differently and to read broadly.By providing financial support, firms suchas McMillan Binch make it possible for students like me to get the most out of ourlaw school careers. Their generosity allowsstudents to focus on excelling rather thanon their mounting debt load. Receiving the McMillan Binch Scholarship was anunexpected honour that I will alwaysremember. Thank you McMillan Binch!”

Queen’s AnnualDonor/Scholar Luncheon

Chris BendickLaw ’05

Attending law schoolhas been my dreamsince I was a child.However, choosingwhich law school to

attend was not an easy decision. After muchreflection, I selected Queen’s Law for itscommitment to equity, diversity, and socialjustice. Choosing Queen’s is one of the bestdecisions I have ever made.

Queen’s has given me the opportunity to foster my interests and to develop academically.During my first two years I co-chaired theQueen’s Aboriginal Law Students’ Associationand the Queen’s Law DisAbility AwarenessCommittee. In second year, I had the privilege of representing Queen’s at thenational Kawaskimhon Aboriginal Moot. InProfessor Stratas’ Advanced ConstitutionalLaw class, I had an opportunity to mootbefore a panel of Ontario Court of Appeal justices. These experiences, and the outstandinginstruction I have received from the Queen’sLaw faculty, have given me the necessaryskills to succeed when I article with the Cityof Ottawa Legal Department.

The calibre of my fellow classmates is unparal-leled. I can honestly say that my classmatesare some of the most brilliant people I haveever met; they have enriched my law schoolexperience through rigorous debate in and outof the classroom. Even more significantly,many of these individuals have become lastingfriends. I will always remember my time atQueen’s Law fondly.

No other law schoolhas a communitylike the one atQueen’s Law. Nowthat I am in third

year, I look at what this school has done forme and it’s hard to believe that only twoyears ago I came here with my women’sstudies degree, not entirely sure how I wouldever fit in.

In my first year, I researched for the ProBono Program, volunteered with CareerServices, joined the women’s intramuralhockey team (despite my minimal skatingability!), and joined Women & Law andQueen’s Law Queers. By second year I wasrunning Queen’s Law Queers and the hockeyteam, I had executive positions with CareerServices and Women & Law, and I was acaseworker for Queen’s Legal Aid. I also tookon an Independent Study Project and partic-ipated in the Hicks Morley Labour Arbitrationmoot; as a finalist, I went on to moot inToronto at the Hicks Cup. I have continuedto be active in the school this year and it isreally sad to think of leaving as I prepare forgraduation. I am grateful for the manyresources and opportunities this school hasprovided me.

I came here expecting to learn about the lawand perhaps make some friends with whomto study, and with the hope of finding a job Iwould like. I have learned about the law, andI have a job that I like. I can also say that Ihave made lifelong friends during my timehere, and I feel so lucky to be part of a com-munity of amazing people alongside whom Iwill be proud to enter the practice of law.

I knew that studyingin Kingston, a smalltown without theamenities of a bigcity, would be a big

change, but being a part of Queen’s Law is one of the best things that could have happened to me.

This year was exciting and rewarding. As thestudent coordinator of the 2004 Queen’sAnnual Business Law Symposium, I had theprivilege of working with members ofQueen’s wonderful faculty and staff, particu-larly Professor Anita Anand. I was also veryinvolved in student life as a co-coordinatorof the Pro Bono Students Canada program.This position gave me a unique chance toparticipate in a program in which law studentsshare their skills with Kingston’s non-profitorganizations. I was also given the opportu-nity to compete in the Wilson Moot; mootingnot only allowed me to gain practical skillsbut to form lifelong friendships.

Queen’s Law stands apart because of itsstrong sense of community. The opportunitiesI have been given have allowed me to pourmy heart and soul into the school. As aresult, I have become part of a larger entity.Over the past two years, I have come tounderstand what binds the Queen’s Law community so tightly together. There is acommon thread that runs through all thestudents, faculty, staff, and alumni – and Iam very proud to be a part of this community.

Ricky TangLaw ’06

Being from Vancouver,I planned to attenda law school in theWest. However, aspontaneous visit to

Queen’s changed everything. The warm welcome I received from the faculty ignitedmy interest, but it was a random encounterwith the Queen’s Legal Aid caseworkerswhich truly convinced me. Not only doesQueen’s have strong corporate and criminalprograms, but it also has a dedication tofields of law such as equity and social justice.

Since then I have been given the chance tobe a caseworker myself, and I can truly saythat nothing compares to the intimatedynamic of the Legal Aid group. The experi-ence has broadened my horizons while allowing me to help others and has fuelledmy commitment to human rights.

I have had the opportunity to representQueen’s at the Ontario Trial Lawyers’ Moot,volunteer with the Pro Bono program, andparticipate in the Hicks Morley Labour Moot.I have also had the honour of being therecipient of the Fasken Martineau DuMoulinPrize and the Queen’s Legal Aid Award.

Queen’s not only offers students a stronglegal education, but it has always focused onits students and building community. I willalways regard my decision to come toQueen’s as the best choice I have ever made.I hope to continue the Queen’s tradition andthe strong commitment to public interestI’ve developed here in my career with theDepartment of Justice.

Student Profiles


Jill Daley Law ’07

I was initially hesi-tant about returningto university life. Iwas quite comfort-able practising as a

community pharmacist and enjoying my freetime travelling and volunteering. Thethought of returning to textbooks and examsand undertaking a complete change in professions was somewhat daunting.

I realized during the admissions process thatthe Faculty of Law at Queen’s was the rightplace for me to begin a new stage in my professional and personal development.Upon meeting the staff and faculty atQueen’s, I recognized it was a place unlikeany other. The Queen’s learning environmentremains student-focused and the faculty isdedicated to the pursuit of excellence.

I have been fortunate to be able to takeadvantage of many opportunities at theFaculty this year: I was a student caseworkerwith the Legal Aid Clinic, a member of theexecutive organizing committee for Pro BonoStudents of Canada, co-president of the HealthLaw and Policy Club, a member of various committees of the Law Students’ Society, andthe Class of ’07 Social Convenor. It was a busybut very fulfilling year. My involvement in theFaculty reinforced my conviction that a legaleducation is a privilege and I learned thatQueen’s Law is remarkable in its support andpromotion of student initiatives. The lawschool community is an energetic and diversegroup of individuals who remain active oncampus and within the community of Kingston.

It has been a privilege to attend the Facultyof Law at Queen’s, and I look forward to myremaining years here. I am certain there willbe challenging yet undoubtedly rewardingtimes ahead as I continue with my legal education and enter the profession of law.

Ken DavidsonLaw ’07

The reason I decidedto go to law schoolis summed up in two words: personalinvestment. While

my career in policing was exhilarating and myownership of several Bell Mobility stores provided continual challenges, I understoodthat personal growth must be my first priority.Law school was the solution.

I accepted the offer of admission to Queen’sLaw without hesitation. A great town, anoutstanding school - it was an easy decision.

On arrival I met a group of highly motivatedintellectuals. It has become evident thatboth faculty and students recognize that the law school experience is enhanced byextra-curricular activities. Opportunities thathave come my way include being a memberof the winning team at the FaskenInternational Moot, visiting the New YorkStock Exchange, and contributing to theQueen’s Law Journal. This summer I willstudy international law at a castle in Englandas part of a unique program offered byQueen’s. Upon my return I will assist a professor with research on CorporateGovernance. On my first day, I never wouldhave imagined that law school included suchexperiences.

Law school has altered the way I think; myperspective has broadened yet remainedclear. Legal analysis is a skill that the faculty at Queen’s facilitates with ease. Theprofessors are passionate and always willingto assist. Their efforts are complemented bysuperb staff.

I look forward to the upcoming year, and Iwould like to express my thanks to Queen’sfor giving me this great opportunity.

Greg LondonMIR ’04Law ’07

While on a mapKingston may seema long way from my hometown of

Vancouver, the spirit of camaraderie amongstthe student body and the approachability ofthe faculty and staff at Queen’s Law havemade me feel at home.

I was particularly attracted to Queen’sbecause of its excellence in labour andemployment law. Since my enrollment in thejoint MIR/LL.B. program I have beenexposed to many aspects of the Canadianindustrial relations system. While the MIRcourses have given me insight into broaderpolicy and contextual issues, the wide selec-tion of labour law courses has given me theability to appreciate the legal intricacies andthe practical workings of labour relations inCanada. I am looking forward to articling inToronto and to becoming part of the highlyintegrated and supportive network ofQueen’s MIR/LL.B. alumni. I know that aftergraduating I will remain in contact withmany of the fantastic individuals whom I

have met here, and I will look back at mytime at Queen’s as one the most positiveexperiences of my life.

Kristin SmithMPA ’04Law ’07

When I discoveredthat a new MPA/LL.B. program wasbeing offered at

Queen’s, I was shocked to have found a program that exactly mirrored my interestsand career ambitions in government legalpolicy. In September 2003, I was given theincredible privilege of joining four other students in the MPA/LL.B. Class of ’07. Sincearriving at Queen’s, I have met a number ofspectacular people both in the School ofPolicy Studies and in the Faculty of Law.Although being in a joint program puts mein between two law school class years, Ihave found this experience particularlyrewarding because it allows me to meet andwork with so many intelligent and caringstudents.

The professors, administration, and supportstaff are extremely interested in and supportive of the new MPA/LL.B. program. Intraditional Queen’s fashion, I have sought to leave my mark on the school andcommunity. I am pleased to have beengranted a number of opportunities to gainexperience in student advocacy and to represent student interests. As an MPA student I was an active member of theCurriculum Committee. I am also the return-ing Joint Program representative on the LawStudents’ Society. In the past year I advisedand represented law and graduate studentsas a Student Advisor for the Society ofGraduate and Professional Students. I lookforward to next year when I will bring my experiences as a Student Advisor to academic policy as a member of the Facultyof Law Academic Standing and PoliciesCommittee.

In May, I will begin my first co-op work termwith the Ministry of the Attorney General inthe Ministry of Health and Long-Term CareLegal Services Branch, where I will be thefirst summer student to work in the Kingstonoffice. I am excited about working locally asI enjoy living in a small, historic, waterfrontcity with a strong sense of community. I lookforward to the many experiences to come inthe final two years of my program and as Ibegin my career as a Queen’s alumna.



Sessional lecturers, drawn mainly from the practising Bar, provide a very important

part of our teaching program, bringing the knowledge and wisdom of members of the

profession into the law school. Every student in second year takes the Appellate

Advocacy Course (an enriched form of the old “moot court” program) which is taught

by sessional teachers, and all of our Civil Procedure classes are taught by sessionals.

We also offer a number of seminars and advanced level courses, especially in the skills

and business law areas, that are taught by these busy professionals, and this year a

couple of the upper-year lecture courses will be taught by sessionals. We are also

fortunate to have members of the Bar in Kingston and other professionals serve as

supervisors for students in Clinical Family Law.

While many of our sessional lecturers and clinical supervisors are Queen’s Law

alumni, we also have a number of graduates of other law schools involved. Some of

our sessionals have been teaching for us for many years, and we deeply appreciate their

continuing commitment.

This year we started a process of enhancing the support and supervision available for

our sessionals. We are more formally assessing their teaching performance, providing

them with feedback to sharpen their skills, and instituting a formal orientation session

before the start of the school year. We have also hosted appreciation receptions in

Toronto, Ottawa, and Kingston.

The Faculty of Law is very grateful for the dedication that these professionals have

shown in teaching and providing guidance and advice to a new generation of lawyers,

and for the enrichment that the practising Bar brings to our course offerings and to the

life of the law school.

Professor Nicholas Bala (Acting Associate Dean, 2004-2005)

SESSIONAL LECTURERS

Justin Connidis (Law ’79) joins the faculty on a one-year appointment. Justin was a Sessional Lecturer at Queen’s from 1988 to

1994, teaching courses in Securities Regulation, Mergers & Acquisitions, and Corporate Governance & Responsibility. A former

partner of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP in Toronto and General Counsel of the Ontario Securities Commission, since 1994

Justin has been a business and legal advisor, providing executive and legal services to companies implementing growth and

financing strategies. He is also Counsel to Aylesworth Thompson Phelan O’Brien LLP in Toronto (since 2005) and Milton, Geller

LLP in Ottawa (since 2004).

Acting Associate Dean Bala observed: “Justin brings tremendous experience in the corporate finance and securities areas, and

some of the complex issues that arise can be better understood by someone with his experience than by an academic. We are

especially fortunate to have Justin join us for the coming year when some leaves have temporarily thinned our strength in the

business law area. ”

Justin will be teaching Business Associations and Securities Regulation in the fall term and Corporate Finance and Secured

Transactions & Insolvency in the winter term. As well, Justin will be faculty advisor to the Queen’s Corporate and Securities

Law Moot Team, and is involved in organizing the annual Business Law Symposium.

“I am really looking forward to rejoining the Queen’s faculty, and engaging with the students.” said Connidis. “The Queen’s

business law program offers its students a great mixture of leading academics and experienced practitioners from whom to

learn. A wide range of courses, both at the Kingston campus and at the Herstmonceux Castle International Study Centre, provide

a solid grounding in the law and an understanding of how the law may be used to improve our society.”

Fellow Queen’s Law School GradsI am pleased to write to you today in my capacity of a member of the Dean’s Advisory Council and

a committed Queen’s law school alumnus.

The recent appointment of Bill Flanagan as Dean marks an exciting new chapter in the history of

the law school. With one of the leading legal education programs in Canada, Queen’s law school

continues to attract some of the most accomplished students in the country as well as first-rate

faculty and sessional lecturers. Some of you may have heard of the recent achievement of the

Queen’s law student team which finished fifth out of 149 schools in an international moot competi-

tion, including beating Harvard along the way!!

Queen’s law graduates play a critical role in supporting the school as ambassadors for the quality and professionalism of

its legal education, and as contributors to the on-going growth and renewal of its infrastructure and programs. The recent

renovation to the law school marked a milestone in alumni and law firm financial support for the law school, which I hope will

set a strong precedent for similar initiatives in the years to come.

As I approach the 25th Anniversary of my graduation from Queen’s Law, I remain forever grateful for the opportunity that

Queen’s Law gave me to obtain a profession and build a career. If time and circumstances permit, I would urge you to please

consider giving back a little bit to Queen’s through a donation of your time or money. We owe it to future generations coming to

Queen’s law school to ensure that they have the opportunity to obtain one of the best legal educations available in the country.

Yours very truly,

Steven J. Trumper, Law ‘80

Thank YouLast year Queen’s Law said farewell to former

Dean Alison Harvison Young,who was appointed

to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, and

former Assistant Dean Ann Tierney, who is now

Dean of Student Affairs at Carleton University.

Faculty, staff, and students are very grateful

to Ann and Alison for their many lasting

contributions to the Queen’s

Law community, and we wish

them both the very best in

their future endeavours.
